It definitely could be hardware related, but other then the 1.2b3
lockups (which a configuration file rebuild fixed) I've had 100% uptime
since the day I installed m0n0wall (not counting when I reconfigure and
need a reboot, of course)
It could be a 4.9-5.3 problem too, although most of what I've heard was
bootup related.
The machine is a PII, 300MHz-ish (I think, I'm not in front of the
machine), with either 64MB or 96MB of RAM. Memory usage is around 34%
any time I've checked, no IPSec, PPTP server is enabled but no users
were authenticated.
I've done a bit of researching and I now have reason to believe that the
problem may occur when one of my Vonage VoIP phones is in use. I'll
investigate further tonight once I don't have any other users connected,
but in the mean time I dropped my 1.2b3 CD in the drive and I've been
stable.
